I've recently completed my MSc Computer Science from a UK institution, and have moved back to the US to begin work. I write in my spare time, enjoy cooking, and apparently am addicted to signing up for SE sites :).

Author's notes: yay or nay?A book series I very much enjoy has the bad habit of putting notes in the front. I don't particularly care what music "inspired" the book; if I was going to listen along, I'd be able to find the information just as easily in the back, and it delays me getting to the actual story.

How to juggle work and NaNoWriMo?I work in CompSci, it's a security risk for me to bring in my own laptop. But I could grab a notebook and type the entry up later I suppose.

Less universe-specific synonyms for “squib”?In the world in question, it's expected that a member of a specific Tribe have at least a little affinity with the specific type of magic for that Tribe; however, I'm lacking a good word for those who do not. The same concept seems to apply here but the word woudln't be perjorative in my world, merely descriptive.
